| Welcome!
My name is John A Keith. I am a real estate broker in Boston. Along with my team of agents, I help buyers and sellers of homes throughout Boston, including the South End, Back Bay, and Beacon Hill neighborhoods. |
Ah, the first sign that Spring has really arrived in Boston.

Loading ...On the topic of unpleasant things to look at, a neighbor in the building next door to my SE brownstone has taken the liberty of mounting a big fat DirecTV satellite dish on a fireplace that runs across the front of my building, directly in front of one of MY windows. It’s not only an eyesore but it would obstruct use of the fire escape in the event of a fire. Plus, I’m pretty sure Landmarks forbids this sort of thing. He claims he cannot move it to a location on HIS building (like their roof) because they’re unable to get a signal due to a tree directly in front of their building. What’s your opinion on the increasing presence of these satellite dishes and what would you do in my shoes? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I would take a photo and send it to Landmarks - I don’t have contact info, but you might be able to find it on the city’s website, or look in the Courant this weekend, for contact info for the board.
There was some sort of legislation under consideration that would ban dishes. I don’t know if that passed; I assume not.
Usually, a third party can be helpful in these sorts of situations. Perhaps a clergyman?
